Electric skateboard advice

[Raji Lowenthal]

Need advice on a graduation present for a relative. I've checked Ebay but dont really know what to look for. Prices range from a 150 to 700 and I'm willing to spend 3-350. Kid im buying for is active boarder already and will be mostly used as transportation on a city college campus. Appreciate any advice and or links.

What specs are recommended? Long board or short board? Which one do you ride?

Is asking the kid an option?

What he wants/prefers, etc?

Nope trying to make it a surprise.

When I was in college I rode a regular skateboard with longboard wheels. It was much easier then carrying a longboard around (fit in the rec center lockers for example). Since you said he’s an active skater already, I’d go with the regular sized electric board

Good looks, I guess storage would be a legit concern to consider.

Kids all over campus have these

I just ride an 80s powell peralta board with rat bones wheels as a cruiser board (non electric)

I have no idea about electric boards
